Tie Cook From Vassar.

Boston Record: One day one of the
officers of the cooking school came To
enc of the teachers with rather q
splendid air, saying:
"Icu are to have a new pupil to-
day. q young friend of mine who grad
uated last year from Nassar. She is a
very accomplished young lady and /
think you will find her n valuable adj
iition to the class. She is a GIRL of
quick comprehension and very bright"
The teacher bowed and prepared
herself for meeting a pupil who would
never get her measures wrong, nor fail
to see the n%iccties of all culinary phi
losophy. The first lesson of the Vassar
girl. who was a pretty and well-bred
young woman, was "A demonstration
lesson in meat cooking. She listened
TO the opening remarks with interest.
She begged pardon" to ask, "What
is a skewerP" and watched the teacher
with housewifely interest. But pres

The movement to- increase the pay of
railway postal clerks, and to pension
them after long periods Of faithful SER
vice, should be successful. The service
requires q high degree Of intelligence
and no little business efficiency; it
necessitates n degree of ply steal and
mental labor which ultimately affects
the health of, even the mostrobust, and
it involves risks TO limb and life much
higher than those Of mmy service, ex-
cept ia active campaigns. The entire
business and'Gocial life of the country
'argely depends on the work done by
postal clerks, and the nation can afford
to pay these men well and take care of
them.

The discomfort in the Tory ranks in
England is intense and dGjly growing
stronger. 1t has transrlced that the
withdrawal OF several OF the ministers
from the cabinet was prevented only
by Salisbury's threat of dissOiying
parliament, and that re went so far in
his surrender to the Observation-Disclosures
as TO place more than one portfolio at
their DISPOSAL.

The attorney general has rendered g
very important decision with regard to
the right CT aliens to hold mining
stocks, The act of congress of March
s., 1878, restricted the ownership of
real estate iaterritories to American
citizens and forbade aliens holding real
property or any interest therein within
the territories. 1t was claimed in
certain communications to the presi-
dent that this law prevented aliens
from owning shares or stock issued by
American corporations that own min
eral lands in theterritories. The presi-
dent referred the matter to the attor.
ney-general, whose reply draws the dis
tinction between the ownership Of
realty in mineral or other lands and
holding stock or shares OF evea
LEASES which are personal prop
erty. The distinction seems so
obvious that it is strange
that any confusion On the subject
should have arisen. The public policy
that prevents foreign ownership of tho
soil does not in any way extend to for
eign investment in the shares Of
American enterprises. 1t is obviously
TO the interest of the country that sur
plus capital should be attracted here
from abroad to assist in our develop
ment.

1t is now pretty well understood that
the president will make n western tour,
visiting Chicago, Omaha, st. faul,
Minneapolis. st. Louis, and perhaps
other cities during the coming autumn.
He will be the guest of the people, and
no political cranks will dare % offer
him an insult. The chief magistrate
will be warmly welcomed. He will
learn thet the west is a much greater
part of the country thai he supposes
it to be. lie will ascertain that in cul-
ture, refinement and intelligence, il
need not blush at u comparison with
the east. He will find that it has Gle
ments OF attraction aud greatness not
possessed by the east. His visit win
give him n better idea OF its wants, and
he will be better prepared to Judge of
the Legislation needed by the west. 1t
will be the gamer by the presidents
visit. It's thrift, enterprise, and gen
eral ar Of content will impress him
with the fact that The west IS growing
in political yower and influence.

Newspapers and the Public.

Seriously, in the public mind there is a
great misrepresentation as to the province of
the newspaper in a business point of view.
A newspaper is as much business enter
prise as "A grist-mill. OF course every man
might grind his own grist, but the process
would be slow and costly. So each man
might write a weekly letter to a friend in an
adjoining town to ascertain what is going
on there, and this would also be slow and
costly just here the local newspaper steps
in and proposes to furnish a weekly summary
of happenings which people like to know.
1t invests large sums of money to do this ac
curately, concisely and regularly. If it does
it in an acceptable manner the people buy
the paper expecting to get value received,
and they do get it. How, then, can any one
entertain the notion that the local news
paper is a sort of public charity that some
how must be supported but is not worth
support? 1t is the people who hold this
charity idea that seek to get back in free
advertising what they have given for its
support. Now no publisher wants sub
scriber to his paper out of feeling of
charity. He prints paper which has
a money value to all who take it, If it con-
not be taken on the pure business ground
of value for value he would rather 90 into
some business whose values are more clearly
understood. News is as much commodity
to be bought and sold as flour or corn, The
paper which furnishes the most that is de-
sirable for the money gets the trade. Be
cause your miller is "a good-hearted, gem
erous man and has occasionally given a bag
of flour to poor neighbor, it is no reason to
compel him to give the same to every one
who asks, especially when most of those
who ask he knows will sell his flour for their
own profit. So with advertising News
paper space has money value. A paper
which has any reason at all for its existence
is never compelled to take everything that
is offered just to fill up" The Express ami
Standard has every week much more matter
than it can use SO when dead-head adver-
Using knocks for admittance it does not find
very warm welcome. -NeWport Express.

resolved that the prohibition party be asked

Eggs Fifty Cents a Dozen.

A gentleman who keeps few hens for
profit recently carried some fresh-laid eggs
to wholesale dealer at Faneuil Hall Mar
ket, Boston, and received for the same forty
three cents per dozen. The dealer said to
him, Next week ] will pay you forty-five
cents, and before Christmas fifty cents a
dozen for all you will bring me like these"
What is true of Boston is in a measure
true of every market for eggs. The next
eight weeks will be the season of highest
prices. Therefore work your hens now for
all they can do We have no doubt but
that for the want of the proper ingredients
in their food more than one-half of the hens
in this country are now idle, when eggs Will
sell for fifty cents per dozen. 1t is pure
folly TO wonder, spend time and money or
experiment to find ont why your hens do not
lay. You better by far profit by the expert
ence of others and make them lay during
December and January. The following
sworn statement shows that the quickest
and surest way to do this and increase the
egg product during these months from one
TO six hundred per cent is by the use of
Sherdan's Powder to make hens lay, once
daily, in the food:
SOUTH WALDoBoRo, Maine,-"I COM
menced December &, 1886, to feed sixty
hens the Sheridan's Powder according to di-
rections, and continued until January 3lst,
! The first week they laid only thirty eggs,
| the second sixty-one, the third one hundred
| thirty-eight, the fourth one hundred ninety
! six, the fifth two hundred siNty-two, the
sixth three hundred fifteen, the seventh
